In F911, the woman who told Lila it was all staged...
What was that about? What was staged? And I was having a hard time telling what the woman in the tent was talking about, although I could tell she was anti-war. This woman who confronted Lila should be known as the shrew of the country.

1. My first impression was she thought
Lila was somehow faking it. She didn't believe her distress.

The homeless woman lost a son too.

2. my impression
the woman saw the crews filming Lila and decided it was a faked scene and that she had to say something. Freeper I suspect. I also suspect we'll know soon who she is.

I wondered if the homeless person was from the middle east here protesting the war because of what it was doing in her country. And yes, it seems she lost a son too.

3. I hope we find out who that heartless monster was in the film
and that she NEVER has a moment's peace.

4. You will never know who she is.
First of all, Moore probably doesn't know who she is. In a situation like this, I don't think he has to obtain a release to use her image in the film. (Documentarians and lawyers, please advise on this. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't even play one on TV.)

Second, while Limbaugh and the other characters would love to have her on, to prove how "evil" Moore is to show exactly who and what she is, she'd be used like a rag by them. And she wouldn't like the experience of being in the spotlight again.

Third, she might realize that she looked like an idiot...then she might realize she IS an idiot. And perhaps her friends will tell her she is an idiot. And she won't want to push the matter.

5. reminded me of this famous photo


The woman in Fahrenheit 9/11 made herself a symbol of ignorance and callousness in front of the whole world, much like the teenagers who jeered at Elizabeth Eckford when Little Rock’s schools were desegregated. An embarrassing spectacle she has has to live with for all time. I hope she will get a chance to apologize someday.

6. that woman directly behind the black girl apologized
but I did not think she came of as sincere - it felt like she was more sorry her hatred was captured in a picture for the ages. Probably the same for the freeper gal.

7. That woman will soon be the most hated person in America
Her attitude really summed it up for me as to how Right Wingers view the world. This was the best part of the film for me.

How dare she interrupt a Mothers grief!
